Townes Van Zandt - Katie Belle Poem

[@shreyaroy731]

There is no deeper blue In the ocean that lies As deep as the blue Of your laughing eyes No sweeter sound Than your gentle sigh No heart was ever so pure Dream pretty dreams Touch beautiful things Let all the skies surround you Swim with the swans And believe that upon Some glorious dawn Love will find you Come some day I'm bound away Wind and wings on the water Whatever may You must stay And remain my beautiful daughter There is no deeper blue In the ocean that lies As deep as the blue Of your laughing eyes No sweeter sound Than your gentle sigh No heart was ever so pure Good night katie belle, good night

[@Tex1947]

a great Townes moment

[@triplucid3563]

For sure!/No doubt! :-} To me: almost any of the "rare to see" video of Townes is Lovely & great! B4 KZbin I was finding the "Private Concert" etc Bootleg= Sadly, The only way I could E-bay.. IF there is any more footage out there Live / etc Man I sure wish they'd officially release it!

we all miss you, Townes.

[@glenhartley154]

Deep mind, deserving creative respect, how many singer songwriters of today can quote poetry like that?

[@wshow11]

Quote? I think he wrote it!

[@glenhartley154]

He did

I love every drunken bone of this guy. The Jim Morrison, Jim Morrison couldn't even dream of being.

[@zatoichimasseur6767]

Morrison had nothing on Townes.

[@triplucid3563]

So VERY TRUE..Jim M. was mostly a COPYCAT & a CRUDE-EGO MANIACAL Jerk with a GOD-COMPLEX! However The Doors: were a good, nice band lol! Townes was & is always the REAL DEAL: with heart-felt appeal & unequivocal zeal for music no-one else could even steal!- I say this to both of you! :-} . I'm Glad to hear what you are saying= Unplugged from the American POP-Matrix I'd say- Per-se.. too much worship to Morrison people have been payin'. +P.S.=A Side note/"Fun Fact"=It takes a Monster of a "man" , Like Morrison- to SHOVE Janis Joplin abusively into his crotch for NO-REASON {Like he did}! Truth be told- Jim thought ANY-one was lucky /blessed to even be in the same room as him..and ironically hes super famous even though the BAND wrote MOST of the song & the greatest ones that ARE MOST FAMOUS LMAO!

[@FleagleSangria]

Eh, I love Townes but I think Morrison despised much of the surroundings he was in and just wanted to be an artist. Not sure why they are even in the same sentence though.

An American legend, Townes Van Zandt
